Does Life Owe You...?

Does Life Owe You...?

Have you ever met someone who thinks that life 'owes' them?

I have and I expect that you have too, as.... they are everywhere!!

Are they happy?

No.... and do you know why?

Because they never believe that they get what they deserve.

It is always someone else's fault...

Life is unfair - look what she/he has...

They think that they have been mistreated and the dirty was done on them....

Do you think that life owes you something?

Well, if you do, have a think about it....

Why does life owe any of us any… thing?

Each of us has a reason to be here and even though we did not ask to be born we were... and just because of this very reason we are so, so very important!

Each of us are part of the very fabric of the universe... a unique soul to be treasured!

Thus we owe it to ourselves to take our OWN LIFE by both hands and run with it...

Take control of whatever situation we find ourselves in... and step forwards not in:-

blame, guilt, wanting, dissatisfaction and negativity but, instead live in openness, kindness, gratitude, love and a positive spirit

-----------------------------------

Life is a race that each of us runs.

Life is a challenge and no one is immune from crossing the finish line - coming in first, second, third or last - it really means not a thing.

Life is there for each of us to take and do with what we want... no matter whatever winds or storms that blow our way.

Life can be a joy to be treasured if only you would see... your life is an empty canvas on which to paint your own picture.

What you chose and what I chose is each of our own responsibility so,

Paint what you will yourself, as others, ultimately, CANNOT paint it for you...!

Yes life is a race that each of us runs, so... RUN yours now!

------------------------------

You have a choice to take a chance to make a change and...
if you choose too, then
 take a run with me on YOUR OWN JOURNEY OF LIFE!

Celebrate Your Inner Beauty...!

Celebrate Your Inner Beauty...!

Do you look around at others and see their visage and say:-

 "I wish that I was that beautiful/handsome...!"

"If only I had her figure/his physique...!"

Do you think that because you might not look as 'beautiful' physically as them that you are not as good?

Do you think that their outside beauty will give them everything...

a partner, money, success, power, fans... LOVE?

If you do think all or some of these things then... think again!

Ask yourself these questions:-

"Does the outside beauty that I see represent an inner beauty that I cannot see?"

"Even though the box might be beautifully wrapped is it devoid of beauty, grace and goodness inside?"

Sadly in today's world advertisers spend billions in cultivating a false belief that:-

buying this...

using that...

will make you beautiful and therefore attractive to others...

you will achieve success, be HAPPY and LOVED, and have all that you want in the world.

How misleading and false this is!

Life is life and no matter how hard we try to stop the natural course of life from happening... we cannot!

All we are doing is covering up, decorating or changing our shell - the outer layer!

How often do we judge a book by it's cover only to discover that when we read it is nothing like we thought - in fact we would never have read it if the cover depicted what it truly was!

When we look at other 'beautiful/handsome' people and try to imitate what they either, falsely achieve or naturally look like, and cannot what happens?

We think that we are not good enough... but how wrong is this!

If you cannot realize that you are who you are because it was meant to be...

If you cannot realize that you are who you are because you are not meant to be anybody else...

If you cannot realize that outer beauty fades (no matter how much money is spent on it) but INNER beauty only gets more beautiful as you journey through your life...

If you cannot realize all of these then you will NEVER be happy because you will always be searching for a unattainable beauty one that will always fade!

You are unique therefore beautiful/handsome in your own way - uniqueness is amazing as just think that there is no-one else on this earth or in the universe... like YOU! 

Of course it is important to look as best as you can but, when you become obsessed with the outside 'wrapping', there is danger in forgetting the GIFT inside!
It is then that the danger of becoming superficial will loom large!

Contentment...

kindness and empathy...

understanding and listening...

laughter and gratitude...

truth and honesty...

communication and respect...

being open and accepting of others...

being wise and thoughtful with your time, words, actions and beliefs and having integrity even when times become tough...

showing, giving and accepting of love!

This is beauty... this is your inner beauty which will not fade, for it is there within you and lasts a lifetime!
---------------------------------------

Today look into the mirror - look deep within your eyes!

Then look still further, beyond and deep into your soul, for it is there that you will find yourself, the true you!

If you look deeply you will find your own unique beauty for it is there, yes there, inside of you.

It might be hidden but if you look with eyes that see you will find it there lying quietly just waiting, just waiting to be discovered...

discovered by YOU!

Look for your inner beauty as it is there... inside of you!

The Deep...!

The Deep...!

There is nothing quite like the Deep...

deep oceans, deep jungles, deep caves, deep valleys and deep mysteries!

What is even more wonderful is the deep within a person...

deep feelings, deep thoughts, deep emotions, deep words, deep conversations and deep love!

Depth fills us up...

Depth exposes the shallow and the superficial side of both people and things and,

once we have experienced what 'The Deep' feels like we can never ever go back...

Have you felt the depth of feelings, thoughts and emotions - so much so that it brought you to tears?

Have you felt the depth of words and conversation - spoken with understanding, wisdom and passion?

Have you felt the depth of love - kindness, truth, honesty, compassion and respect?

Have you?

Do you, yourself, show a deepness within your life?

Reflect upon this and give yourself an honest answer, and know...

Once you have experienced 'The Deep' of life you will never ever be satisfied with those superficial and shallow things, and people, any more!

Do you want others to know and experience that same deepness within you?

If you do...

delve into 'The Deep' of your life and let the surface things go and...

find your authentic self!

'Go experience life! Experience it in your own way. Live it, taste it, and enjoy it through your own eyes. Remember that each of us is different, with a different path and dream to follow, so live your life to the fullest.

May each of you walk in peace and happiness as you discover, get to know, and live with your authentic self!'

 Ruth Anne Caukwell (Quote from Musings of a Blogger) (C)

-------------------------------

'Musings of a Blogger - Inspirational Thoughts for Your Life's Journey' - takes you on a journey of self discovery! It is a blue print for your life and helps you to realize that you have an inner strength upon which you can free, help it to blossom and ultimately, let it lead you where you want to be in your life, so...

Do you want to discover the deep within ...?

If so go out and grab it, today, as it is the 'stepping out' and finding out who you really are that will fulfilled every need within your life!  The strength contained within your 'inner deep' is there just waiting to be discovered!

Not only does she help you identify those obstacles, but helps you crush them with a very simple, yet thorough, step by step process.

I have read Ruth’s book, Musings of a Blogger – Inspirational Thoughts for Your Life’s Journey, and was very excited to see this is aimed at the individual who needs to embrace change, to enhance their lives, move outside of their comfort zone and, break through the “terror Barrier”.

Tear Down Those Walls....!

Tear Down Those Walls....!

Within life there are so many opposites:- 

light versus dark

day versus night

Winter versus Summer

peace versus turmoil

kindness versus cruelty

acceptance versus rebuke, and...

love versus hate!

Within each of us there are many opposites which are shown by our:-

speech

silence

feelings

looks and...

actions!

Stop for a moment and ask yourself this question:-  

"Which opposite do I feed and ultimately live by?"

Do not live behind the wrong wall, one which will only guide you along a path full of pain, sadness and bitterness in the end!

Do not live with each brick made up of prejudices, biases and hatred, as... life is meant to transcend all differences and hostility, it is meant to surpass judgment and hate, yes life is meant to be full of grace, respect, acceptance and love!

Isolation, exclusion and judgment have been around for so long that many have forgotten what it is like to live without a wall, so... isn't it time for each of us to work in unison to tear down those walls, and build a bridge!

----------------------------

If you are brave enough to face those things that make you afraid then you can face your fears that so much better…

If you are brave enough to face those things which hurt you then you can face your hurts with triumph!

The fear then… will not creep into your life nor will the hurt over take…

You will be free to step forwards with courage and find out that You are BRAVER than we think!

So...

In truth may you walk and in truth may you live!

Through all the returning seasons may you grow and change -

just as summer turns into spring and spring into autumn and autumn into winter -

may you move and grow with life, singing with the birds, walking through the trails marked with ferns and trees, with flowers blooming fresh and snow falling thick.

May you live with truth and let truth lead you... guide you and… help you live your life to the full!

You were born in truth...let you live in truth and…finish in truth!
